The tx speaker OF The last house of
representatives, and The probable speaker
of the next one, contributes To the Forum
strongly written paper in favor OF
The Continuance of Democratic Rule "
The most important reason which Mr.
Carlisle urges for this continuance is the
disposition of the democratic party To
prevent the collection Of ii surplus By re-
ducing taxation. and the policy of the
republican leaders to perpetuaie the war
taxes AMI spend the surplus The true
democratic solution of the problem, ac-
cording to Mr. Carlisle is Ito abolish, Ms
far as practicable, the taxes on the actual
necessaries of life and on the raw mate
rlals used in their production. and to re-
wise, simplify, and, in proper cases,
reduce the duties on the other articles
embraced in the tariff schedul,.-f

But, realizing that theoretical perfection

internal taxes on domestic tobacco. and
making a reasonable reduction in the

Secretary LaInars best friend could
scarcely cali him graceful equestrian. He
sits away forward IN the saddle. with his
shoulders trying 10 crawl over his ears and
his chin striving to reach the horses name.
His horse is just the animal to carry such
figure. 1t Is good natured, slow gong old
family beast and moves along at a law amble
which can only lie compared to the secretary's
own movements in his walk to his office The
secretary rides often, for he is believer in
Mr.. Bayard'S dogma of plenty of exercise,
and on pleasant days he can tie seen Jogging

sometimes has an umbrella under ms arm.

In regard to the business situsiion tn
Boston J0Urndl says that while general
trade has been less active than during the
two weeks previous, there have been no
special unfavorabe Developments. IL is
believed that few large failures of late,
disclosing unwarrsnted expansion of
mercantile credit and business methods,
have made those who extend fav"rs 10
bu, mess men somewhat timid, and thai
the uncertainty attending the siringency
OF the money market has had tendency
10 lead BUYERS 10 proceed with greater
canton. While the scarcity Of none,
and the unwillngness of lenders to lei it
ont occasion business men considerable
difficulty and embarrassment, it has the
salu ary effect Of checking the tendency
toward nm undue expansion OF credit

which is due partly to the fact that deal

demand in spite of the tact that pros
